If weather conditions arise over the weekend, preventing operations from taking place as scheduled, crews will continue the closures throughout the day Monday, Sept. 16.

About the Work
Beginning Friday night, crews will close US 85 between County Line Road and Blakeland Drive and the eastbound C-470 on- and off-ramps to pave the new roadway on the bridge over C-470 and connect the new eastbound ramps.
By conducting extended closures, crews are able to expedite paving operations and other weather-dependent construction activities, reducing the overall construction schedule.
The newly widened roadway and reconstructed interchange will alleviate traffic and create safer travel as part of the US 85 Widening Project and corridor improvements being made from Highlands Ranch Parkway to north of C-470 by Douglas County.
